I am trying to get a sense of whether there are criteria for selecting “good data”, how one justifies using this kind of data, how to deal with the problem of anonymity when attempting to describe the groups, “speech communities” etc. who produce the texts and the context for these discourses, how to compare this data to other kinds of spoken discourse, and how to represent this data on the page in publications. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Karen Pennesi, PhD.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Associate Professor<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Department of Anthropology<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>University of Western Ontario<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>London, Ontario, Canada<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
